Parts unknown beckon once again. Since my last trip to Australia, I’ve been daydreaming about getting back and seeing many of the places I didn’t visit but wanted to. That would be the west coast, from Perth and environs, including Margaret River, northward to Darwin.

For reference, here’s my route on the last go-around:

This will be a 2,700 or so mile jaunt over three weeks. After that, I’ll be meandering through Southeast Asia for five weeks. Lots of places and ideas, and it will pretty much be a free-form adventure through Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan.

Here’s the planned route for Oz, hugging the west coast until the road pushes inland towards the top of the continent:

The journey begins October 31st. Looking forward to getting back on the road and blogging the trip.
